When these had been ho llowed, The CHAIRMAN hi gged to propose as a toast, the health of three vs ,honourable and independent J4ll as the City of Loudon could produce, Sir W. Viirtis, Sir James Shaw, and Mr. Alderman At kins.—The toast wa.s drank with great applause. Sir %V. CVRTIS, in rising to express his grati tude for the lionotir he bad just received, laboured , under considerable difficulty while addressing so -nunterons, so respectable, and so loyal all itsSein•• Ilky. `When lie said this, he did not mean to in sintiate that it was at all uncommon to meet with -.kyalty in the City of London. During 28 years tinr-t he had had the honour to represent the City in radiomen!, he had ever loom] the :o . csit body of the Citizens loyal, and such he was sati:fied woold ever ten►ain. No day could be more , Q►perly selected than that on which they were , met for the purpOse Which had called them toge ther. He was most proud to meet such an as sembly, and to have had his- health proposed in it, and received as it had. been. He : lamented the absence of his respected colleague, Sir James Shaw, and had felt much pain, as he was sure every one who heard him bad done, from perus ing his advertisement of yesterday. 'l'l►e Meeting been pleased to drink to the two Houses of "Parliametit, and doing this, had expressed a hope tl►at a ll future RepmettladVeS of the serVe them as faithfully as the present had done. He had been in the last six Parliaments, and could truly say, that every House of Com mons he had known had been true to itself—true to the , Constitution, and true to the interests ►►f the Pe.rl4e. Perfection was nut to be looked for itt atiy•'hutnau institution, but be thought as little i4e l p . er-fcction was to he found in that .►ssemtcly in laity other that could he named. He had been 4.4n...4i0tis to defend the liberty of the subject, but .at the same time cat eful to guard against that liberty degenerating into licentiousness, and be ~had ever laboored to maintain that it.ible equi which diStinguished our Coustitutiou, and • which King, Lords, and Commons should equally share. in conclusion, be stated it to be his determination to - adhere to those principles which had first recommended him to their notice. He should he proud of being again chosen t heir Representative•; and he hoped at the ensuing Election their choice of Representatives would at once do honour to themselves and to those who were favoured with' their countenance. • • Nlr. Aldernnin Artuss expressed his gratitmle fen- the honour he had received. lie had ever been anxious to attend to the interests of his con, i i stitnents ; and now the time came. w heti ite must again .resign.the charge into their :Lands .; could conscientiously declare to them, and to his filaker, 'that on every occasion he had endeavoured h 0... nestly .to discharge his -duty. .His conduct was before them, and to the principles on which he had hiiherto acted he should steadily adhere.—. Th es e, he was convinced, w,re essential to ti,e: best interests of the ronwry, and he thought it probable, twat ultintatele their biethien who had. been opposed to, them would : take the same view of them, and:say, '' To your filinness—to your standing up against the paltry delusions which de signing men had sent abroad, we owe the SHIVA-. tioll of the Coristitutiun and of the l;ountry.'' then more minutely described the course which he bad tato in Parliament, and finished by repeat ing his determination to persevere in the. satne. line of conduct, and by expressing his gratitude. for the 'lotion' -he had received, in return tor. svhich he begged to drink to the health of all pre• sent, ato l l to that of their families and friends.. . The health of the.

COURT OF KING'S BI•:NCII, JUN I: 4. SLANDER UPON THE BAR. Rot.LFSON AND OTHERS V. BRUCR. In last Term Mr. SCARLETT moved for a rule I to chew cause why this defendant should not be discharged out of the custody of the Marshal upon firing common bail, on the ground that the action in which he had been taken in execution had been compromised by the plaintiff's attorney, and the debt consequently discharged. It appeared that the defendant had been jointly liable to the plain tiffs with two other persons, now become bank rupts, in the sutu 0f , 3,300/. one of the latter hay ;o: ,0001. before he became bankrupt, in past discharge (+f at debt. Au execution had beets levied on the defendant's goods and chattels,which yielded.wbout:2fiol , , upon which the plaiotitr, paid the Sheriff's poundage... On a former day in this Term cause was *hewn by :11r. Topping and Mr. Litt ledale against the above- went lotted rule upon the affidavits of one of the plaintiffs and his solicitor, both of whom positively s,vore that the action was tint compromised, acid that the de fendant was 'still indebted to the plautiffs its the sum of 2,3001. The defendant was then heard in person, but the Court thought the application was fully answered on the tout of the plaintiffs, and disch arged the Rule; the defendant, how ever, suggested then, b ut riot upon affidavit, that. EXtthr.la 11U • NI! S told been deposited fur the whole amount of tili,e•tplaintiffs' debt, which they might have applied tiaa payment of their demand, wi t h- , out taking ita es.ecatioth As the truth of this fact, however, was nut vouched upon oath, the C our t would not attend to his gratuitsma State ment, and therefore remanded him .. to his former custody. , On the sitting . of the Court this mornin t f,, Lord ELLENl39ivtlUll intimated that the Court had received an application froth the defendant to I be .permi•ted to file an affidavit, verifying tilt above-mentioned fact, which, if trite, his LOrd ship said, might possibly he favourable to hint in obtaining his discharge, and therefore it any Gen deism). of the Bar would inos.e on behalf of Scarre.tt (who was formerly consulted by the de feitdant, .but was now ahseot hams Court) to have the case reconsidered, it might be so, by Counsel, and n . ot by the defetidant himself; who, in one of li;a affidavits; had 'tonight privet . to cast a slander upon the Bar, by stating that there was a combination against him antougst all the Gen- Hemel) ' Orthe Long Robe, and that he could get no person.. to mOve ott his behalf. • llis Lordship was quite sure that there teal nu fotoolstion for this extraordinary stlggtvioti andif the defend ahtwisited to have his case properly discussed, he toms( sobtok to htive the point discussed by Coun sel. It was to be nnderstood, linweier, that the Court would trot call upon the plaintiffs to answer ..the matters of the defentint't iffidavit'. Mr. CLAI;KE accordingly signed a motion paper for Mt. Scarlett, and the dele'ndant w ag ordered to be brought op again on a future day. THE KING V. WEGENER. Ou the motion of Mr. TOPPING, this defendant, Who wit• convicted at the Sitt hogs .ifter last Ter In, in Middlesex, of mittug and publishing libels against Chippeutiale, the Attoroey, Wag brought up to tec.eiv the judgment of the Court, hot owing - to the press of other business, k was agreed that the case should stanti over until next Term. li r esterday sestiptight, at Brighton, a brutal drunk with liquor and pa.sion, after a dispute with his trite .tit the. WhOlesale fish nlat ket, suddenly seized his oven ct,iid, tibont gtvo y ears o ld; fz-oni her AlOl5, rushed into the sett with it, breast bigh, and then, horrible to relate, cast the in,!oeutit babe from hiin. The shrieks of the mother were a,,swcted by an assault upon her person, and an Aiteffipt to force her into the wafer by the obj-ct of her terror. The time ly iuteri,ositiot: of the cro‘ed there, priucip.,ily fishermen, tio%%;:ver, preserved both mother' atiti child from petit :jug, WESTMINSTER MEETING, Yesterday is pnhlic meeting of the Electors of IVestininster tea. held at the Crowri and Anchor, pursuant to advertisement, for the purpose of hearing the farewell address of Lord CoCtreasre, and of considering ho were fit and proper per sons to he returned as their Representatives.—A little beforemne o'clock, Mr. Shod', Lord Coch rane, and ' Mr. Hoot, accompanied by their re speetieefriends, curet ed the room. Mr. STURCH being called to the Chair, briefly stated the objects tor which the meeting had been called. lie then paid the ir!lial common place comphoents-to the impartiality and independence of those who heard him, concluding with expres sing his conviction, that the Geot!einem who now attended were as well acquainted with their rights, and as determined to defend them, as any other body of Electors in the kingdom. After a dis sertation on opinion, was mock represent at ioo , and the necessity of freemen preserving those rights, with o ut which life is of no value, he reminded the Electors that eleven ye,-Ura had elapsed since they had made the attempt to choose a Representative of their own, who was not a servile tool of the Court, and return hint free of expence; and from that hour to this, he had proved himself' so firm a friend to freedom, that it was impossible they could repent their choice. He had no doubt that their choice ;would fall on Sir Francis Bur-. Jett as one of their Representatives; and though lie had no idea who or how many Gentlemen would be this day humiliated, as tit to be the suc cessors of the Noble Lord about to leave them, he hoped that by their conduct this day, io affording as impartial heariog to every person who wished to speak, the Electors of Westmiuster - would prove that they were no mob, as they bad been called, but the enlightened friends of liberty, or der, and peace. Lord COCHRANE then addressed the meeting. He said, that probably in a few days wool(' de volve upon the people the right of giving their votes to those who were to g ye away their pro oerry-. A toimb , r of )ears' experience had con vmeed him that Parliament could wily speak the will of the people by a Reform, and that a Re form could he brought about only by the people themselves. Rut his opinion was, that except in a hew places, the same system of col ruptiou would go Oil, and the same sort of people be returned. He was therefore convinced that a Reform would not take place till the measco es of Ministers bad .brought the people to such (listless that they could no longer endure it. "Ilie mode in which a spirited person, afterwards called a Usurper, once reformed the Parliament, seemed to him to be the only means by •which it could now be reformed, unless, indeed, the people adopted the right of their eleciive franchise. Ile had always voted according to his conscience, and had never considered his individual interest. Ile was now shout to leave the country for a purpose that would be hereafter made known.; lie could only say that it wits blended with the principles he had always supported—those of liberty ; and if he had gone before the dissolution, he should have deemed it his duty to sot render his trust into their hands. He then adverted to the subject of the persecu tion he had experienced, end repeated his promise of an exposure of his ettetni,s, of some of whom the -public had yet no suspicion. He asserted that at the time he came from the King's Bench t:tth: House of Commons, in order to vindicate his chutracter, he received ant intimation front the high est. Authority of the kingdom, that if he would quit the count►y he should be ena,hlra to l eave i t . Hi s answer wits, that he would see till the foreign descendants in this kingdom go first. Atter re peating the hackneyed assertions of Government employing spies to hang nom, that they might juStity their at hittary measures—of corropt Judges believing . petjured witnesses, Stc., he concluded with hoping that whenever he returned he should find more spirit among the people : meanwhile he advised then' to meet where their sentiments might go abroad to die wof Id, but no more peti tioning. The preseut House of Cominons was a thousand times more base alit! infamous than the Senate of Rome before t he tall of the Empire, as-there was no species of infamy of which they were not guilty. lie did not regret leaving those hypocritical pretenders to relieihn who bUilt Chinches and gaee away Bibles, but took the money out of the pockeis of the people ; he did no t regret leaving the tax-gatherers and taxeat ers ; but he regretted leaving his - native laud, in . which hi: left the bones of his 4ineeStors and everyahing he held clear, ahul, above all, his friends the Elettors of Westminster, whom; lie hoped, on his retain), to find restored from oppression, by' theit own exertions. It, at such a time, no other man could be found to convey their oppressors as exiles to St. Helena, he would do it„ . He would even .be teddy to do more ; for it ever we should have a corrupt Parliament that tyrant zed over the li berties of the people, he should be happy to under take the task of Cromwell, and root them out at once. He then thanked the Electors for their kindness in standing, by him when he thought the whole world had deserted him, and assured them that his whole life should he devoted to the cause of liberty and their interests. Mr. WALKER proposed an Address of Thanks to Lord Cochrane, for his conduct •in Parliament, which was seconded by a Mr. Ilivpos,and carried unanimously. A wretched looking person of the name of Hut , Ley then got" upon the table, and atter a few in ' coherent sentences against boroughtoongers and corruption, proposed Mr. Hunt as a fit and ,pro per pet son to represent the independent City Of Westmitister, he being a friend of atonal Pal lid ments and universal snffrage; and however he had been ealumnated . , it would soon be returned. on the heads ot his henemies! This curator it vain attempted to proceed. He Was huOted down. Mr. G&LE Josies got up to second the propo sition of the preeediug speaker ; when, titer two or three sentences about Mr. Hoot's independence, atid asserting that he was abused by Miiiisters because they feared him, and was hated by those who ha i l out the coarage to d 4 as he had done, a scene of coolusiciu rind uproar a. se, which seti all desCription at du fiance.
